South Yorkshire Futures: Paid Summer Internships - Wednesday 12 December 2018

On Wednesday 12 December at 11am in LT3 Hicks, David Ashley will be talking about the PAID teaching internship programme - ALL WELCOME! (but scheme open to those in penultimate year of study)

Details of the scheme are given below:



South Yorkshire Futures are expecting to be able to offer a significant number of paid school based internships for undergraduates studying maths, physics, engineering and related subjects in June/July 2019. The internship aims to develop communication, interpersonal, planning and organisational skills and to provide experience of teaching maths and/or physics in excellent schools.


• Each internship will last for 4 weeks and participating undergraduates will be paid £1200 (£300 per week).
• Even if you do not intend to become a teacher,  the programme offers much to all undergraduates in terms of developing communication, organisation and planning skills that will be beneficial for many careers as well as enhancing your CV.
• The programme will provide training, support from a school based mentor and careers advice for students who want to know more about a career in teaching. There are a wide range of routes into Teaching and we will help you choose the best one for you. We are able to offer guaranteed interviews and advice on how to access tax free bursaries, scholarships and early career payments of up to £30K for those who do want to become teachers.
• Internships are  likely to be available in a wide range  of locations  across England including many schools in Sheffield and South Yorkshire.
• The programme is for students in their penultimate year of study i.e. those graduating in the summer of 2020.

Mitacs Globalink Research Project in Canada

One of our final year students took part in a  Mitacs Globalink Research Internship last summer. This is a competitive initiative for international undergraduates, which we advertise every year. Here is their story: I originally applied to the program following an advertising email from the university in the summer of 2020, thinking I will never get it because I am not the best physicist. Later during the application process I was interviewed, where they discussed what they wanted me to do during the project. Originally the project involved me travelling to Canada, to do organic semiconductor fabrication and research. However, due to covid, the project was turned virtual. During the internship, I was investigating a proposed mechanism for doping of organic semiconductor, because the proposed mechanism is not energetically feasible. So I had to generate a model of various different doping molecules and organic semiconductors to go through the mechanism to see if any of the steps could b

International Women's Day 2022 #BreakTheBias

  International Women's Day (IWD) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. This year we are called upon to  #BreakTheBias . From the International Women's Day 2022 website:  "Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women's equality. Collectively we can all  #BreakTheBias. " On 8 March we had a fantastic panel ( Cheyenne Polius , Fiona Turner , Gillian Gehring , Lee Kenny and Steph Edwards ) to talk around the IWD2022 theme of Break The Bias. The panel members came from a wide range of industries and backgrounds, and it was really exciting that we were able to bring all this different expertise and perspective into the department.   We know that gender bias and inequali
